Silent Auction Draft

[Red]

Is that John Lyons rather than Jack Lyons?

John Lyons | Australia Cricket | Cricket Players and Officials | ESPN Cricinfo

Yep. Apologies

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Sent.

Not sorry for getting what seems likely to be an above-average bowler ftr

 

[kyear2]

Long day at work, sending bids now.

 

[Red]

Interesting round that one. Some high prices paid for a couple of batsmen…


Round 2 results

kyear2- Victor Trumper: $2, 800, 000

weemanbob- Vijay Hazare: $2, 144, 455

Dan- Charlie Macartney: $2, 000, 000

Samuel Vimes- Jeff Dujon: $1, 800, 000

morgieb- Rod Marsh: $1, 000, 000

ohno- Norm O'Neill: $600, 000

Cammo- Kenny Benjamin: $40, 002


Trumper going for some big bux, and plenty paid for Hazare also. ohno ends up with a bit of a bargain with the underrated O'Neill for 600k. Seems everyone who wanted a keeper rated Dujon slightly higher than Marsh.

[Dan]

Sreesanth! Oh man!

Miller going to go for big bucks here. May as well not even bid on him.

 

[NUFAN]

If anyone needs the name of every test cricketer in a Word Document on a single line each, I'd be happy to email it to you

Would be great actually mate. Can you email it to my Sheep Draft email.

Cool draft btw. Looking forward to seeing who gets randomized in rounds 12+13.

 

[morgieb]

Hazare really overpriced, don't think he was that much better than O'Neill.

 

[morgieb]

Isn't Neil Johnson a Zimbabwean?

 

[NUFAN]

Hazare really overpriced, don't think he was that much better than O'Neill.

Not that big a surprise to see the people who didn't spend much in round 1, spend slightly above average (in some people's eyes) in round 2.

 

[morgieb]

Will be interesting to see the bids, 4 players that will get the big bucks, but the rest look ordinary.

 

[watson]

Greg Chappell and Norm O'Neill for 2.9 million is pretty well played I reckon as the total is only a little above the average of 1.36 million per player and they look awesome in the middle order together.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Ankit dropped out?

 

[ohnoitsyou]

3.8 million actually. Another cheap pick and I'll be on track

 

[kingkallis]

Ok, got all emails in and all results. Here is who got who....


ohnoitsyou- Greg Chappell: $ 3,210,000

ankit- Frank Woolley: $ 2,000,000

Samuel Vimes- Merv Hughes: $ 1,900,000

Cammo- Junior Murray: $ 1,100,046

Dan- Colin Milburn: $600,000

Weeman- Kiran More: $254,500

morgieb- Ray Price: $70,000

kyear2- Brian Strang: $1000


Please feel free to check and make sure I haven't ****ed anything up.

- If you could please bid on every player that is offered, even if it is only $1. That means I don't have to decide a random amount if you don't get someone you've bid on and I have to allocate an amount to the player you get randomised.

- If you can keep tabs on how much $$ you spend/have left, that'll make my life easier!

Cammo, Samuel Vimes - WOW! You guys must be super rich.

Rod Marsh fetched less than Murray. Jeysus!

 

[ankitj]

Ankit dropped out?

Nope. I sent bids. How did I not get anyone Monk?

 

[ankitj]

Also I can't bid without knowing who I got in the last round.

 

[Red]

Nope. I sent bids. How did I not get anyone Monk?

Sorry, my oversight.

You were the one I had to randomise. You got Nip Pellew for $1.

 

[ankitj]

LOL, who?

Need bid thoughtfully.
